Christians: Be Strong and Courageous. Be the Salt and Light of the world

What did God tell Joshua to defeat the evil wicked enemies?
Be strong and courageous.
So what should Christians do?
Be strong and courageous.

Many Christians in Australia have failed to be strong and courageous. Instead of being strong and courageous, many chicken out and avoid speaking out against social evils where the opportunity arises. While this is not to say to one should deliberately seek to offend people, or to ask people to persecute us (persecution complex), it is NOT AN EXCUSE to avoid speaking out against social evils and fighting them.

Wake up people!

This may sound arrogant, but only the Christians can ALL answers needed to fighting against evil.
This is because we have the MOST PERFECT AND WISEST, and HOLY, RIGHTEOUS, JUST, GOOD Almighty God who can empower us to fight evil who is perfect in His holiness, righteousness, justice and goodness. God is the best philosopher, judge, lawyer, author, speaker, warrior and law enforcer there has been and there ever can be. 

God seeks Christians to carry out His purposes and commands them to be salt and light of the world.
Salt gives favouring to that which is bland. It symbolises righteousness. The unsaved should feel uncomfortable or upset at us for being righteous. Light exposes darkness. Light represents Truth with a capital 'T'. We should be boldly proclaiming the Gospel. The unsaved should see us as bold, "fundamentalist" in the sense that we only adhere to God's Word, or even someone who does well for our faith!

If Christians fail to do so as it the case in Australia, He will use evil, wicked, perverse people to fight evil as it is happening right now. Look at those wicked perverse people in the government, army, NGOs, academia in Australia. They are the one preaching against usury, pornography, and even in some cases abortion.This is not at all about making Christians look good. Rather, it is an indication that Christians have failed to be salt and light of the world as Jesus commanded us.

Fighting evil may have connotations of "crazy", "fundamentalist", and even "psychotic" people who picket funerals and yell out to everyone that they are going to Hell (like westboro baptist "church").
No! Fighting evil means to expose evil, speak out and act against evil.

Righteousness exalts a nation. When the evil are in power, the people mock as is the case in this country.

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a...

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security...

The spirit of Paganism is of Degeneracy, Rebellion and Bloodlust

Paganism is the rejection and hostility towards all Christian virtues. It is not merely the unbelief in fundamental Christian theological doctrine, but the hatred of Christian virtues. This ultimately leads to the active, outright embrace of all manner of degeneracy. The scriptures describes such paganism in Romans 1:18-32:   For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts wer...
